malt25 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 G;day all. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. In 2009 I married a Thai national & took her & her 2 teenage daughters to Australia. Unfortunately she found the bright lights & we parted in 2012. I applied for & received an Australian divorce, uncontested. I wish to marry my current partner of 2 years. Besides the obvious reasons to marry, I hope to change from retirement extension to extension based on marriage. I've had the Australian divorce certificate translated & certified by an authorized translator. My problem. I've been advised by a Thai solicitor that an Ampur will not accept the certified Australian divorce, thus preventing me remarrying. I reside in Thailand & my ex resides in Australia. She is unlikely to come to Thailand anytime in the near future. I can travel to Australia to have the divorce certified by the Thai embassy, unfortunately that will mean interstate travel for both my ex & myself. She has advised that neither she nor her current partner are keen for her to help me out in this situation. So, any ideas how I might get myself in a position to remarry ? Thanks..... Mal.

colinneil Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Amphurs are not interested in any divorce papers. Only interested in affirmation of freedom to marry, which you have to get from your embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
